While not making any promises, the developer told Famitsu, via Andriasang, that he has a “variety of other things” planned, and said Solo Remix is more than just a port. He also hinted gently that the iOS release’s reception may influence the chances of additional content, and ‘expand the world further’. Hmm. The World Ends With You: Solo Remix is available now on iPhone and iPad.

Tetsuya Nomura’s delightful modern day RPG is available now on iPhone for $19 and iPad for $21, or regional equivalent.

The World Ends With You originally released for DS in 2007 in Japan and 2008 internationally. It’s something of a cult favourite and while you might be able to grab a copy on the cheap, a quick check of major game traders near me has the cart going for about $22. A dilemma.

Square-Enix posted a countdown site for a mystery project earlier this week, although all signs pointed to The World Ends With You. The countdown remains, but the announcement has slipped ahead of time.

Andriasang reported that Square-Enix added a new The World Ends With You soundtrack collection to its online eShop. The listing also made mention of an iOS release ahead of the countdown site ending.

Square-Enix has since removed all mention of the iOS version, but the text did reveal that the game would feature new songs.

Square-Enix launched a teaser site and countdown containing several clues this morning.

The site’s URL makes reference to ‘Subaseka’, which sounds suspiciously similar to the game’s Japanese name, ‘Subarashiki Kono Sekai’, not to mention that Nomura has discussed the possibility of a World Ends With You sequel previously.

Speaking in the latest issue of Nintendo Dream, Nomura was discussing the cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, saying providing the Raimu/Rhyme character with a voice in the game was “out of consideration of the future of The World Ends With You series.” Normally, she only makes noises out of reaction, but never really speaks. When asked about his hint, Nomura said he was unable to “say anything at present, but there probably is something.” One can hope. Thanks, Andriasang.

A world based on Tron Legacy will make it into Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance when it launches next March in Japan. This comes through a brand new eight minute trailer being shown at Jump Festa this weekend.

This is the best news ever in all of mankind. Ever.

It’s worth nothing that a world based on the original Tron was included in Kingdom Hearts II when it released in 2006.

Other new worlds confirmed for DDD include Pinocchio, Notre Dame and Three Musketeers, while character reveals consist of KH regulars Terranot, Vanitas, Xion, Roxas and Axel.

Neku, Joshua, Rhyme and Shiki from The World Ends with You all also make an appearance. TWEWY appearances were confirmed back at TGS.

But let’s be honest, it’s all about Tron Legacy. As the saying goes: In Like Kevin Flynn.

For the uninitiated, The World Ends with You was a woefully under-appreciated DS title from Square Enix that actually managed a “double the screens, double the fun” approach – as opposed to most early DS games, which merely doubled the gimmickery. At any rate, it was delightful. So, of course, no one bought it, because the universe only wishes to punch you in the teeth and steal your lunch money.

1UP‘s TGS preview, however, reveals that Neku’s getting another shot at the spotlight, brief though it may be. We don’t want to spoil it, so click through the link for the whens, whys, and wherefores. Happily, combat’s also apparently made giant-shoed strides in the right direction – which is to say away from uninterruptible animations.

Meanwhile, a show floor booth photo floating around on NeoGAF doesn’t leave much to the imagination by all-caps screaming “COMING SPRING 2012.” Granted, that’s Japan-only for now. A Western release is inevitable, but still unannounced.

A company has developed shades to alleviate the “negative effects brought on by prolonged use of the 3D feature on the Nintendo 3DS”. They work by using “Tri-Acetate Cellulose amber lenses.” Or witchcraft.

Remember the call from Atlus offering a chance to be in a Catherine trailer? Well, Deathsmiles US publisher Aksys Games has submitted a video-response.

Another titbit of E3 speculation: a sequel to DS RPG The World Ends With You may be announced at the show in June.

The world may have ended, but the franchise goes on.

Two-screened, completely chaotic combat? Angsty, pointy haired teenagers? Clothes that are – proportionally speaking – more zipper than cloth? The World Ends with You should have been a disaster worthy of its own Japanese monster movie, but instead, it’s one of the few games that – on its own – is worth buying a DS for.

And hey, what a coincidence: designer Tetsuya Nomura just expressed interest in developing a sequel! Good timing, Mr. Nomura. We doubt our previously planned article – titled “The World Ends with You is pretty great, but it’s three years-old and there will never be a sequel” – would have gone over quite as well.

“I’m really happy that the game was so well received in North America,” Nomura told ONM. “I definitely want to make a sequel. I’m very busy working on other titles right now, but when the time is right, I would love to make another installment of The World Ends with You.”

Oof. Yeah, it sounds like great news, but read between the lines. “Other titles”? We’re guessing that includes Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which may or may not come out before the world actually ends. Why must you dangle this plump and juicy carrot in front of us, Nomura, only to yank it away?

Take a look.

The company’s making a “thing” of the fact the DS RPG is set in modern times, the first Square game to be so, apparently.

“Square Enix has traditionally been associated with RPG’s set in fantasy lands, but THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is our first ever game to be set in modern times and real-life locations,” said the publisher’s super-boss, John Yamamoto. “We believe gamers of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy all that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU has to offer.”
